Operating Modes

The refrigeration unit can be powered from different sources. According to these sources we recognize three operating modes:

  1. Diesel Mode
    The refrigeration unit receives no power from the external sources (such as the mains or the alternator) and runs only on the diesel engine located inside the unit.

  2. Mains Mode
    The refrigeration unit receives power from the mains via CEE socket.

  3. Alternator Mode
    The refrigeration unit receives power from the FRIGOBLOCK Power Electronics Kit (from the alternator mounted on vehicle’s engine).

Diesel Mode

In this mode the vehicle’s engine does not have to be running.

  1. Set M0A switch to position “0”.

  2. Press the ON key on the SR-3 controller located on the refrigeration unit.

  3. Press the ON key on the TSR-3 controller (located in the Truck Cab).

  4. Continue according to the instructions described in the Refrigeration Unit Operator manual available at www.emea-user-manuals.thermoking.com.

Note If the Refrigeration unit does not receive power from the external source it automatically starts in the diesel mode. As soon as the Refrigeration unit starts receiving it’s power from the external source it automatically switches to the electric mode and the internal diesel engine stops.

Mains Mode

  1. Set M0A switch to position “0”.

  2. Connect the mains cable to the CEE socket.

  3. Set M0A switch to position “NETZ MAINS”.

  4. Press the ON key on the SR-3 controller located on the refrigeration unit.

  5. Press the ON key on the TSR-3 controller (located in the Truck Cab).

  6. Continue according to the instructions described in the Refrigeration Unit Operator manual available at www.emea-user-manuals.thermoking.com.

Note If the refrigeration unit was already running in the diesel mode when the M0A switch was set to this position the refrigeration unit will automatically switch to the Mains mode and the internal diesel engine stops.
